Quantum Blue® sCAL
Serum Calprotectin Measurement with a Rapid Lateral Flow Assay
The Quantum Blue test system combines the ease and speed of lateral flow technology (like a COVID or pregnancy test device) with full quantitation by means of a small bench top reading device (BI-POCTR-ABS3).

The Quantum blue test system combines the ease and speed of lateral flow technology (like a COVID or pregnancy test device) with full quantitation by means of a small bench top reading device (BI-POCTR-ABS3).
The system can be used in the laboratory if the volume of tests isn’t too high, or it can be used in clinics as a point of care option.
It detects the dimeric format of serum calprotectin. There are 25 tests in each kit and all are individually sealed so you can use them one at a time if required and results are available in 12 minutes.
Assay range: 0.42 – 10µg/ml
Assay time: 12 minutes
Sample type: Serum
Sample volume required: 20µl

Supporting POC diagnosis of Peritonsilar Abscess
The QUANTUM BLUE sCAL Test (QBT) is an appropriate POCT to determine serum and salivary calprotectin levels. Thus, PTA scores can be determined within a short time frame by applying the QBT during outpatient management.
